A GREAT GAME ENDS IN DISAPPOINTMENT – SHARKS TAKE GAME ONE IN OT 3-2

The LA Kings showed up in the second period and never wavered. They had their chances, God knows the game nearly ended on Brad Richardson’s stick. Alas, hockey is a game of inches.

I don’t know how this series will end. I do know this. The Kings proved the Sharks mortal and well within our ability to beat even without Anze Kopitar. Build on this effort and this series is ours to win.

I respect the San Jose Sharks’ organization and their fans. But to you pompom waving types, I am flying to San Jose for game 2. Keep your white tampons out of my face. I am coming to roar our boys to victory.
